Airlines, Cheapest Routes, Cost, Where to Book

They are a small commuter airline specializing in short-haul flights (so no flights from the mainland!) They offer routes to Hana from the following airports:

Kamuela and Kona on The Big Island

Hoolehua and Kalaupapa on Molokai

Kahului and Hana on Maui

Honolulu on Oahu

Note: All prices you'll see me quote below are current at the time of this writing in June 2012. But of course, you know the airlines, prices could change. In any case, it should give you a good idea of what to expect, and I've included links for you to search for today's prices which I hope you'll find handy!

Fly from Kahului, Maui to Hana

Up until Oct. 1, 2012, a flight to Hana, Maui from Kahului will cost you about $250 one-way, or double that for a return flight.

But if you'll be traveling to Hana on or after October 1, 2012, you ought to be able to find flights to Hana for about half that price thanks to Mokulele Airlines. You've gotta love it when prices are slashed in half like that!

Fly from the Big Island of Hawaii to Hana

You have a choice of flights to Hana, Maui from either Kamuela or Kona.

If you
choose Kamuela, you have to book a flight from Kamuela to Kahului which
costs about $250 one-way. Then, you have to book a second flight from
Kahului to Hana which will set you back another $250 or so.

But there's better, much cheaper way of doing this...

You'll
find a much better rate if you book a flight from Kona to Hana. This
is a bargain since all it'll cost you is around $82 AND it's a direct
flight, meaning no stopover in Kahului. (I found this rate by calling
Pacific Wings directly at 1-888-575-4546.)

Fly from Honolulu, Oahu to Hana

Flights to Hana, Maui from Honolulu are a tad pricey compared to
our Kona bargain since you can't fly direct. You'll have to book 2
flights: Honolulu to Kahului for around $85 one-way, then Kahului to
Hana for about $250 one-way.

For the flight from Honolulu, you'll
have a choice of Mokulele Airlines, Island Air, Hawaiian Airlines and
Pacific Air. For the flight from Kahului to Hana, the only option at
the time of this writing is Pacific Air.
